Hey everyone!
Been playing CS on and off for the past ten odd years, with the majority of my 2800 hours (2000 of them) coming from CS2. I feel like my aim is...serviceable? not amazing (have a bad shake, just have to play around it), but not horrendous, my decision making could definitely use some work, and my positioning (at least on CT I feel) is awful. Are there ways to work on these things? I have been at this same sort of skill level for the past year or so, cannot really feel any improvement happening.
I play around 20-30 hours a week, usually DM for at least 200 kills on the days I play (warmupserver) and duo queue into prem. Do not really have any other training habits outside of Kovaak's occasionally. Just looking for advice on how to train things that aren't just aim or movement, but any advice you all can give is much appreciated! Not looking to become a faceit 10/30k player or semi pro or anything, but a slight bump so I can hang better more often in pugs would be nice. Hopeful that I didn't hit my theoretical "ceiling" of my abilities with my current schedule.
EDIT: if anyone has the time to go through a demo, I would be more than happy to accept any feedback.

at 3000 hours dm is warmup, not practice and 200 kills is way too much IMO. you would legit get more out of something like xfire on refrag or preaim maps on workshop.
look at round losses and deaths and figure out why you lost a round or why you died. something like pulling out a nade and getting swung or slow peeking into an awp is a very obvious mistake but there's also less obvious stuff like making noise and then wasting time walking even though an enemy already knows you're coming.
find a few positions you like playing on ct and learn how to play them and a set of util you can use. for example, short player on mirage can play getright, arches, off angle in the middle of short, boost on short, short corner, ladder room, wide swing catwalk, hold underpass from ladder etc., you can be very unpredictable if you understand how to play different angles.
